Fabia DQ200 fluids
Ues oem oils gearbox oil part number is G055 512 A2 takes 1.8L The mechatronics oil part number is G 004 000 M2 takes 1L The drain plugs are on the bottom of the gearbox m14 for the gearbox one and m6 for the mechatronics one i think can't remember Need to remove the battery and air box and dust cap at the back of the gearbox by the selector unit and the one by the starter motor for the mechatronics there is a fill plug for the mechagronics but you will need to remove the starter motor to access it how I change my oil I got a one liter bottle with a screw cap and a long hose and filled it that way it's not a hard job but you'll need to take a couple hours to do it right but oils a bit slow going in the gearbox and the mechatronics unit

The side lights in the headlights on the fab Rs don't work as DRL are the side lights they dim when you turn on the side lights

Aftermarket Shocker Fitting
Yes definitely wrong shock absorber is too far into the Hub the bolt is meant to go through the hole then pinch the Hub to the shock absorber and they're used Old Bolt which is a no-no and it's a stretch Bolt quite highly torqued to 60nm and then angle-tighten 90° i would take it back get them to fit a new shock absorber and bolt and do the job correctly

Euro car parts are not to bad on most things and there ebay or go to the original part maker usually they are cheaper then skoda

Skoda fabia vrs 2013 Auto lights
The fuses you want are 57/58 both 15A in fuse box driver side under steering wheel.But it more likely to be the new headlight switch as they come with front and rear fog lights and the vRS as only rear fogs on the switch remove the new switch and put the old back and see if the headlights works

Fabia VRS Estate rear rattle video
The best thing to do is check all the rear suspension system out make sure it all good. The rear storage compartments in the boot can come loose and rattle and there is a vent behind the rear bumper that can come loose and rattle it all so allows water into the boot spare wheel well. The panel gaps look okay to me look about the same as my vRS estate the MK2 is know for not having perfect panel gaps

Advice on oil leak please
Looking at the video it could be the sump gasket but the sump are stick on with gasket sealant and toque to 9 nm you are meant to use new bolt in the sump when refitting it but a common fault is a PVC value o-ring leaking or a broken breather hose. The best thing to do is clean up all the oil off get it up to temp and have a good look for the leak

- Fabia Vrs mk2 cam tensioner
You might as well do it all as it not worth doing just tensioner as you need to take it all apart to get to it- Fabia Vrs mk2 cam tensioner
Yes sounds like the timing chain on the way out as my one did this I got my one changed all good now. It's big job to do but not to hard to do if you know what you are doing when doing it I would change the water pump assembly as it has to come off to do the timing chain. All the parts for my one Come to £880 all OEM parts and it took about 6 hours to do it. Skoda dealer wanted £1200 for the parts and a week to do the work- Oh No another mk2 VRS (2011) Over heating issues
Most likely to be the coolant pump common problem with the 1.4 TSI as it Dives the supercharger as well I start looking there- Wheels and Studs - Mk1 and Mk2
Not on the fabia as the mk 1,2 & 3 all sit on the same platform and have the same wheel PDC 5X100 - Window switch light
